Video: The Power of Sacred Listening

“Connect is the ministry of belonging… and the deep truth of Connect is the sacred act of listening.”

In this reel, Mary Foster Parmer, founder of Invite Welcome Connect, explains how congregations build true belonging: – creating safe spaces for newcomers to share their stories, – practicing holy listening, – helping people discern their gifts, – and offering clear, intentional pathways into the life of the congregation.

This message was part of an Invite Welcome Connect workshop weekend culminating in Mary’s sermon at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Ladue, MO.
